It's been kind of a crazy few weeks in SCA blog-land when it comes to arts and sciences and how we ask questions and do things and information transfer and how to act on social media. Y'know, a light week of reading. (So you have an idea, check out these posts: Social Media, the SCA and … Continue reading Omphaloskepsis: on asking questions and providing suggestions

Update on Finished Projects
So, we're five months in. I've been able to stay mostly motivated to get projects done and off the list, though I'm definitely seeing some sticking points. It is also hard as hell to create when you just don't want to create. I did pick up a couple of things at KWHSS - some pigments … Continue reading Update on Finished Projects
KWHSS and yet another scroll diary.
KWHSS was a blast. I got to hang out with my brothers, the Four Horsemen of the College of Arms, picked up some scribal goodies (and yet, somehow managed to stay under budget), and learned a lot. Plus, oh, the networking. Also, next year is in Calontir. Come see me. Come take some classes. … Continue reading KWHSS and yet another scroll diary.
Updates to the project list!
I'm preparing to go to KWHSS in the Debatable Lands (finally! Another kingdom down for me!) Valor was a lot of fun (and Camp Interkingdom Incident really was a blast to hang out with). And, my class and workshop went well, so definitely some good times. (Also, I forgot that I'm not bad as a … Continue reading Updates to the project list!
Time for All Things to End
I am stepping down from my post as Baronial A&S champion this weekend (it was supposed to be earlier this year, but we ended up moving the event due to inclement weather) - so I had some time to finish off some things that I wanted to do. I perhaps was not as active of … Continue reading Time for All Things to End
Project updates!
Things still to accomplish. Lined Skjoldehamn hood (will definitely have to redo the centre panel. Alas. Am working on remeasuring, cutting out, and sewing the entire thing up. Almost there.) Cutting out several Byzantine bone box blanks in preparation for turning into Byzantine box icons. Sewing up Byzantine boy garb (PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS!) … Continue reading Project updates!
De Ceremoniis
So, I sucked it up and decided that I could be poor a couple of weeks. And so I purchased Byzantina Australiensia's new translation of De Ceremoniis so I could start building Byzantine ceremonies and researching things from the primary (or close to it) source document. For those not in the know, De Ceremoniis is the book … Continue reading De Ceremoniis
Upcoming Classes
I'm tinkering with classes for an upcoming event. If you're going to be in Calontir over Memorial Day weekend, I'd love to see you at Valor! I'll be hosting a scriptorium (just a time for scribes to hang out and paint) on Sunday, with a class on regalia, court protocol, and writing award recommendations, and … Continue reading Upcoming Classes
Project roundup!
So, my list of unfinished projects is getting shorter! Yay! Still on the list: Lined Skjoldehamn hood (now taken apart and mostly lined. I may have to redo the centre panel so it's wide enough because I forgot to take in account how much I'd lose to seam allowances. Deep sighs.) Cutting out several Byzantine … Continue reading Project roundup!
Jaida’s Pelican Text
When my friend Branwen approached me for ideas on what to do for her protege's upcoming elevation for the Pelican, I panicked a little. I was familiar with doing Andalusian art from doing Catalina's Laurel scroll, but text was going to stretch my knowledge base a bit. I also had plans to actually do the … Continue reading Jaida’s Pelican Text
